Prime was also sponsored by a chicken place in 2011 I believe; I think it was Sabasaba Chicken or something like that?

Edit: Here's a TL article about the Mom's Touch sponsorship that mentions that Prime is sponsored by Sabasaba Chicken: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/240686-ogs-gets-a-new-180000-sponsor

Anyone remember the Zerg player ChickenCombo?

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/ChickenCombo

He was just begging to be sponsored by KFC. KFC.ChickenCombo? It's like a walking advertisement!

I assume thats 1 billion Won, not USD. Even so I don't beleive Rain or soO makes the equivelent of $1 million USD per anum :o

10 billion won is like 10 mil USD. I doubt they get that much money.


During last season's proleague parting was making 8-9k USD per month

Quoted for that truth.

It's just a shame when members that you so strongly connect with Prime leave.

Congratulations to Prime!

Maybe now they can afford funding a search party for Byun.

Looks like my prediction that Prime was going to be the next team to go under was completely wrong. Nice to be wrong in this case though

How the hell does Prime manage to stay alive, each time you call them dead, BAM, self-sponsorship, a new sponsor or whatever ! Damn, they're resilient !

Paying salaries itself doesn't mean much without numbers or at least a ballpark number. With the players left it wouldn't surprise me if each got paid very little, but it's still considered a salary. I suppose it's better than 0 though!

I wish we could get some news on Byun, like anything, at this point even just knowing he retired, but knowing for sure, is better then not knowing shit.

Well according to what we read, Prime haven't been paying their employees for 4 years, so Byun probably took a job flipping Korean beef or something when he realized that you can't pay for food or rent in minerals. Unlike, somehow, the rest of Prime, who may have been eating out of dumpsters and living in boxes for the last 4 years unbeknownst to the rest of us.

Or they could have families that help pay for living costs? I don't think Prime is made of orphans.

They did have Primezzang and TT eSports money for a while. I think Primezzang still helps them out.
While the "sponsor" money wasn't much, it could be enough to maintain rent or taxes while enough for food for the team house. Also it isn't like the players/employee couldn't have "al-ba" jobs (no salary, manual labor) as a supplemental income.

I probably posted it a thousand time now :
ByuN had health problems and was hospitalized for a while. He should have start SPL next season but but the recent problems Prime faced, IDK.

Thanks for the info man. I wish Byun a speedy recovery. I always loved his stream and his unique mech builds.

I thought it was posted in the thread that he was getting about 70k over 9 months, too lazy to check source.
